Best smoker barges 1-5 large [Vol 17]

Yes they have. Nice with the AMG kit though. Couldn't buy one without it myself.
Cheap XJ 3.0, front wing looks dull. Still, £1850.

Similar from a dealer with arguably nicer colours, 2180 though.

Almost identical spec to my old one...though mine was heavily battled scared. Got nick named the battle bus..due to its reluctance to die.
Put a private plate on that and I think people would really struggle to work out a) it had a bucket load of miles on it and b) that it was actually old....Oi_Oi_Savaloy said:

Where I can’t remember where the ad is, Ph I think, the well photographed C216 which has a RR thread and seemingly some good work done to it is still available seems.

What a fantastic place name!!!
As for that RR, it has to be a scam. If its in the condition he says it is, then that's a £12-15k motor. A two minute search on sold RRs would verify. I've been hankering after a usable classic for about 20 years - to match my defender when I bought that - but never got to realise my dream and now its too far out of reach.

Check out the seller, they're a LR/RR specialist, seems legit although I know nothing of their reputation. It looks too cheap to me too, not that I'm very clued up on them.21st Century Man said:

That's what makes me really suss, they know it's value if its not got terminal rot hiding under the black underseal or a knackered drive train.

If that CL doesn't seem like a risky enough proposition...

It'd at least make a lovely driveway ornament.
A friend of mine had a press car on test from Maserati when they were new, and it didn't even work then! I think they had to recover it twice.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-Maserati-Quattropo...

You should peruse 'The Meaning of Liff'* for a better understanding of place names and what they mean.What a fantastic place name!!!

I’m sure I’ve seen that LS before on here? Distinctive background. I’m sure it’s fine, but it’s a no from me for that front plate mounting alone! Aargh!
In other news, SL woes. SL1 has had bugger all use this year, and has thrown up a new foible with a failure to proceed today. Cold start is fine, revs cleanly, no hesitation or issues in the slightest. After around 6/7 minutes, approximately when up to temperature on the water temp gauge, it becomes relucant to rev, leading eventually to a stall and cutout a minute later. Turning the key to restart results in nothing, then an almighty pop/backfire. Come back to it a few hours later and the cold start is again fine, getting the car back home, but running rough the last minute before stalling again.
Thoughts are that it can’t be spark, as it runs cleanly when cold (but will check dizzys and leads tomorrow). Therefore can only be fuel, and given it’s age & recent lack of use, I’m diagnosing a surplus of crud in the fuel lines/tank/filter which settles under no pressure (i.e. off), but is picked up and blocks the fuel line after a few minutes.
Logic tells me it can’t be at the injectors/head, as it starts on the key when cold and runs 100% fine. New fuel filter ordered. Am I missing something obvious?
(oh, and new rear brakes too - pushing an SL to the roadside when the OSR is most definitely binding in one spot is bloody hard work!). Having to walk home in typical Manchester weather did not help either.
The M6 had it’s annual service the other day, and 12months RFL. The 7’s RFL is the end of this month & it’s booked in with the man in December to do the valley pipe & all coolant hoses/water pump (I can’t find a leak anywhere, but there is one, and if, as planned currently, it’s coming to CY with me, a coolant system refresh & 85 degree stat isn’t a bad idea). SL2’s CY RFL is due at the end of the month too. November & December are turning out to be pretty damn expensive in bargeland.

Looks great, needs 'old font' plates.
I do need a new front plate - but is it not a bit young for old font plates? I got some for the SL and they looked good though ('91).
Fancyplates have 3 old UK fonts (a, b, c)
The first?

I'm totally fixated on that kermit green RR!
I'm looking to replace our 2nd car (which, since lockdown, looks like the anticipated yearly mileage will be about 3k rather than the 11k it was needing to do prior to covid-19) and that's opened up all sorts of ideas.
There are two essentials - needs to be able to sit 3 kids comfortably in the back, needs a tow hook (ability to pull more than it's weight plus a rice pudding or something). Sadly I've got to replace a broken septic tank at the house, so that's the priority at the moment otherwise I'd be asking alot more questions (bodywork, bodywork, and is the 3.9 knackered....!) on that RR
There are 3 or threads I keep a daily eye (but v v rarely post) and this is one of them - keep up the good work fellas (other sexes included too of course)....

The crank position sensor works when it's cold, but doesn't when it's hot.
